Accounts payable are usually the suppliers to a company who are providing credit terms on purchases. Sundry creditors are any other creditors which don’t fall into the usual categories on the balance...account receivable- money coming in for profit account payable-money going out for a expense. Accounts payable refers to liabilities owed to creditors from whom you've made a purchase. Notes payable refer to liabilities owed to investors from whom you've borrowed money by issuing a debt...

Sundry creditors are the total number of creditors whereas the bills payable is a negotiable instrument.

A trade creditor : is usually someone who supplies you with core products.
For example if you are a builder then your trade creditors supply your building materials, fuel for you truck, tools, etc.
A sundry creditor is the company that supplies other items like the water cooler in the office, or the company that sold you the window blinds.
There isn't usually much difference between them until the company runs short on money at which time the trade creditors still get paid and the sundry creditors get asked to come pick up their water cooler.

Trade Payable

 A trade payable is an amount billed to a company by its suppliers for goods delivered to or services consumed by the company in the ordinary course of business. These billed amounts, if paid on credit, are entered in the accounts payable module of a company's accounting software, after which they appear in the accounts payable aging report until they are paid. Any amounts owed to suppliers that are immediately paid in cash are not considered to be trade payables, since they are no longer a liability.

 

Sundry creditor

Any person who supplies the goods or services or consumable items to a business firm on credit basis, will be called as sundry creditor by the firm who avails this facility. The suppliers of various items relating to expenses on credit basis, are also called sundry creditors.

Sundry creditors are the liabilities of the firm because the firm is supposed to pay the outstanding amount in future as per terms and conditioned agreed upon by both the parties.
